Nick specializes in therapy for people who think and feel deeply. Those who are longing to better understand themselves and their place in the world. He helps adults who are overwhelmed by past traumas, insecurities, or familial patterns. These may be those in a helping role (therapists, parents) who are struggling in their relationships with others, not because they don’t care, but because they’re still learning about their relationship with themselves. He also specializes in identity questions and development - queer/LGBTQ+ identity, early career professionals, and religious deconstruction & reconstruction.Â
Nick also loves helping kids & teens who are struggling with big feelings and finding their place at school or with friends. He is patient, compassionate, playful, and curious when working with kids. He wants to provide a safe space that allows for clients to grow into more peace and joy.
Nick’s therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and grounded in relational psychodynamic therapy, which emphasizes the transformative power of the therapy relationship itself. He believes that by cultivating a space of safety, trust, and attunement, clients can begin to explore the depths of their inner world and gain valuable insights into the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape their lives.
Beyond his clinical work, Nick is a dedicated father and an avid explorer of the Pacific Northwest. He finds great joy and renewal in spending time outdoors, whether running, cycling, or hiking. He loves visiting new restaurants and having great conversations with friends.
